For normal-drying self-levelling compounds, a general rule for estimating the drying time is one day per mm of thickness.
Is self leveling compound strong?
Self-leveling concrete is typically used to create a flat and smooth surface with a compressive strength similar to or higher than that of traditional concrete prior to installing interior floor coverings.
Can self Levelling compound be used externally?
The formula is suitable for use under external coverings or on areas exposed to rain or frost such as walkways and driveways.

How many bags of self-leveling concrete do I need?
At half-inch thickness, a 50-pound bag of Concrete Leveler will sufficiently cover 12 to 15 square feet. For a quarter-inch-thick application, the same size bag would cover between 24 and 30 square feet.1 jul 2015
What area does a bag of self-leveling cover?
approximately 40 Sq. Ft.
How many cubic feet are in a bag of self-leveling concrete?
At a pourable consistency, a 50 lb (22.6 kg) bag will provide 0.45 ft3 (12.7 L) of material. Typical results obtained for QUIKRETE® Self-Leveling Floor Resurfacer (No. 1249-50) & Fast-Setting Self-Leveling Floor Resurfacer (No.
Is self-leveling concrete underlayment?
Self-leveling concrete is most often used as an underlayment for carpet, tile or other floor coverings. Self-leveling concrete is unlike traditional concrete because it contains a high amount of polymers, which are unique, glue-like molecules that bond the substance together.23 mar 2021
When should you not use self-leveling concrete?
When Self-Leveling Concrete Should Not Be Used There are some indoor/outdoor applications that may make sense (a covered-but-exposed garage floor, for example), but most 100% outdoor applications won't be a fit for self-leveling concrete. Also, any vertical surface won't be a candidate for self-leveling concrete.13 abr 2020
What is self-leveling concrete used for?
Self-leveling concrete is polymer-modified cement that doesn't need the addition of large volumes of water for placement. It is used to create smooth flat surfaces with very high compressive strengths. It can be installed on the top of concrete, ceramic tile, VCT, Wood or Plywood or any non-flexible surface.
